Research direction

Start by locating the TypeScript type-generation logic that maps PostgreSQL column types, then inspect how existing PostgreSQL types are handled. Verify the generated types for tstzrange and the other PostgreSQL range types described in the issue, including nullable columns.

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When generating types columns that use a range are being generated with unknown.

For example:

CREATE TABLE public.sample_table (
	duration tstzrange NULL
);

Will generate:

sample_table: {
        Row: {
          duration: unknown | null
        }
        Insert: {
          duration?: unknown | null
        }
        Update: {
          duration?: unknown | null
        }
      }

As there are already several range types in Postgres these should be supported.
